This morning upon inspecting Bree's stitches, found out that she had removed the stitch's on her leg.

Got her to the vet and he stitched her up again, with me right there

She did not try to get at the stitches until this weekend and in one night did a number.

I have tried the E collar but she panics. I also have a donut collar, but she got out of that. Right now we are trying the donut collar and hope it works. I asked the vet to put a bandage on the wound until I got home, sure enough by the time we got home the bandage had slipped down her leg.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Sylvie gotta love them eh,,they don't get that the stitches are kinda important. One of my dogs years ago after 5 sets of stitches and staples i ended up having to muzzle til the stitches were due to come out. Hope she leaves them alone this time..

Thorin panicked with the cone at first, then just turned in to a bull in a china shop after . We had to take his off too. His stitches were on his tummy so I decided to take one of hubbys t-shirts (our vet suggested it), put Thorins hind legs through the sleeves, his tail through the neck and tie it around his waist... work perfectly!!

Big hugs to both you and Bree!!

She may freak wearing a muzzle as well and keep pawing to get it off and scratch herself with her claws. You may be able to improvise a pair of pyjama bottoms and cut a hole out for her tail. If you go to the thrift store you can find something cheap to use.
